From: PETER FROM MASSACHUSETTS
I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THIS VAGAL NERVE ISSUE IS CONTRIBUTING TO MY CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED RECENTLY WITH ATRIAL FIBLLIRATION. MY CARDIOLOGIST SAYS THAT PVCS (EXTRA BEATS ARE THE CAUSE OF THIS) THE EXTRA BEATS SEEM TO COME IN THE MORNING OR AFTER I HAVE EATEN ALMOST ANYTHING. FOR SOME REASON IT SEEMS THAT BLOAT OR GAS , AND THAT FEELING OF BEING FULL AFTER EVEN A SMALL MEAL SEEMS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXTRA BEATS. I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE ROUTINE TESTS FOR HEART DISEASE , THYROID DISEASE, ETC.. AND THEY ALL HAVE COME BACK NEGATIVE. IN THE PAST I HAVE NOTICED THAT DURING THE FULL FEELING EVEN FROM A RELAXED SITUATION THAT I WOULD GET ANXIOUS AND FEEL AS THOUGH I WANTED TO PANIC. MY DOCTOR DOES NOT SEEM TO THINK THAT THIS IS A POSSIBILITY, BUT THE FREQUENCY AND NOW TWO RECENT BOUTS OF A-FIB(BOTH NEEDED A CARDIOVERSION) ALONG WITH THE MEDS TOPROPOL, AND BLOOD THINNERS. I AM 50 YEARS OLD IN VERY GOOD HEALTH OTHERWISE. WOULD LIKE AN OPINION OR RECCOMENDATION. IF TOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT ME DIRECT MY e-MAIL IS PCANNISTRARO@SINCLAIR-INS.COM
